Okay, maybe it isn’t snow, but the jacaranda flowers really are blanketing everything. Each morning I wake up and look out and my back garden has a fresh coating of purple. It’s enchanting in a Disney movie kind of way.
There’s a local legend about Sydney’s prolific jacaranda trees. Apparently many years ago, hospitals on the north shore of Sydney used to hand out jacaranda saplings to new mothers. The mothers would plant the baby trees in their backyards and watch their trees and children grow up together. And, according to this legend, that’s why Sydney’s north shore is coated in purple right now.

Beautiful pictures! Thanks for sharing your spring with us!
It really is snowing (the white stuff) here in Indy.
How gorgeous Rebecca! I’ve love to live in a place where it snows. Fingers crossed that you get snow on Christmas day.
Thank you for your beautiful photos – you must really enjoy your fairy garden.
Kate, the garden looks pretty but I’m totally over sweeping the deck. It’s all-out war, trying to stop those flowers from entering the house. So far, the flowers are winning.
